per on "The Laws OF Habit" A very

HAVE Won read Pinglelon; or, Queer
People / Have Mt, by Talbot Burke ia
a question that is frequently asked in
literary circles. There is small cause
for wonder at il, for good books are
scarce, and the pronounced merit OF
Pingleton; or, Queer People / Have Net,
is such as to captivate both the re-
fined and the rough mind. II is fresh
and delightful reading, and full OF
humor. The troubles into which the
ardent "Mr. Pingleton" and the dudish
"Mr. Bsggs" get themselves while in
search Of ocular demonstration Of
things are really laughable. Beside
he recountng of their adventures,
there are descriptions OF phases Of life
in the great metropolis, and the reader
is led among scenes that are promi-
nsnt feature of New York. w. L.
